Who's surprized.  I'll be sending marzipan.  So if you are allergic to
almonds, powdered sugar, gel food colourings, sander or rosewater, don't eat
them.
I was actually going to bake some cookies too, but my convection oven is on
the fritz and Hans hasn't fixed it right yet.  He was going to come help but
I guess his life got too busy.  I wonder how busy he will be when the
cookies get here??  **Plus** he lives at Chirharts house, so he's going to
get to double dip!!  I hope he is at least helping Chirhart with his
cookies.
